More registration weirdness...Numberplates have been mentioned several times already. Sometimes when I'm walking down the street I will spot a numberplate and then try to make the shortest word possible from the letters. The words have grown since the introduction of the five letter - two number plates, but occasionally you still get an old car with T453WAT or similar. For the purposes of this game, personalised plates are disallowed, because sometimes they're just too easy.
I can't remember the name of the quiz show, but there used to be one in the afternoon on which the contestants were given three letters and had to find the longest word with them in order. Does anyone else remember this, and more importantly, the title?

Yup, Catchword. A gameshow that basically got ruined when the contestants realised they could just go Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis for virtually every 'p', Floccinaucinihilipilification for many 'f's, Antidisestablishmentarianism for most 'a's, etc, etc.
