    I'm sure we called them checkers....god knows where that came from, slightly off topic the area around Manor bakeries in Carlton is still known as sticky top.

    I found out they were called checkers when, as a kid, a "half-checker" collided with the side of my head. I got a red card for a head-butt, and the half-checker was treated for concussion.
