&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;When Radio Met [http://www.sunti-apairach.com/nakhonchum1/index.php?name=webboard&amp;amp;file=read&amp;amp;id=1001389 London neon signs] in Parliament  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;It sounds bizarre today: while Europe braced for Hitler’s advance, Parliament was wrestling with the problem of neon interfering with radios.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;the outspoken Mr. Gallacher, stood up and asked the Postmaster-General a peculiar but pressing question. Was Britain’s brand-new glow tech ruining the nation’s favourite pastime – radio?  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The reply turned heads: the Department had received nearly one thousand reports from frustrated licence-payers.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Think about it: listeners straining to catch news bulletins, drowned out by the hum of glowing adverts on the high street.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Postmaster-General Major Tryon admitted the scale of the headache. The snag was this: the government had no legal power to force neon owners to fix it.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;He promised consultations were underway, but warned the issue touched too many interests.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Which meant: more static for listeners.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The MP wasn’t satisfied. He said listeners were getting a raw deal.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Another MP raised the stakes. Wasn’t the state itself one of the worst offenders?  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Tryon deflected, saying yes, cables were part of the mess, which only complicated things further.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;---  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Looking back now, this debate is almost poetic. Back then, neon was the tech menace keeping people up at night.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Fast forward to today and it’s the opposite story: the once-feared glow is now the heritage art form begging for protection.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;---  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;What does it tell us?  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;First: neon has always rattled cages. It’s always forced society to decide what kind of light it wants.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;In 1939 it was seen as dangerous noise.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;---  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The Smithers View. We see the glow that wouldn’t be ignored.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;So, yes, old is gold. And it always will.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;---  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Ignore the buzzwords of &amp;quot;LED neon&amp;quot;. Glass and gas are the original and the best.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;If neon could jam the nation’s radios in 1939, it can sure as hell light your lounge, office, or storefront in 2025.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Choose the real thing.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;We make it.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;---&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
