�� Gas, Glass, and Grit — The real neon signs (redirect to telegra.ph) Deal
Yasmin laid it bare:

Only less than thirty full-time glass benders left in Britain. That’s less than a football squad.

Real neon is being drowned by cheap silicone tubes, masquerading as neon.

And Google? Buried under SEO spam. Search "neon sign" and prepare for landfill.

�� Static in the System
It’s not just cheap signs — it’s the whole ecosystem.

Every SERP is stuffed.
Small studios like Neon Creations can’t break through.

At Smithers, we’re in the fight:
We still fill with gas. No shortcuts, neon signs neon no Canva logos. But Google rewards clones.

�� What Parliament Could Do (But Won’t)
Qureshi suggested:

- A legal definition of neon with rules and protections
- Craft regulation
- Training and apprenticeships

But what the Minister replied?

Puns.
A Bob Marley quote.
No bans, no money, neon lamp no protection.

�� Bottom Line
If it’s not gas + glass, it doesn’t count.

LED "neon" = fake.
Calling it neon? a con job.

�� Smithers’ Stand
At Smithers, we won’t stop.
We make real neon for bars, bedrooms, and restaurants.

✊ Closing Crackle
The world doesn’t need plastic tapeworms.
It needs craft, fire, and real neon.

So MPs, make it law not lip service.

Because if artisans give up, all you’ll get is glue and silicone.

�� Gas + glass or nothing.
�� Respect the flame.
