den is on a distinguished road

I thought you could register a two letter .uk if your company or business trades or is known as two letters (but it has to be VERY well known), ie BT.

I remember asking Nominet a good number of years ago and that was the response they gave me.

Good post. There are quite a few 2 letters out there it seems. I know some are pre-nominet. It figures if you are HUGE like BT. But what about ok mag. It's w*nk! No good even for toilet paper!

BT.co.uk Registered on: before Aug-1996

I think it was after Aug 1996 when the rule came about:
