polka dots, never seen poker dots.

Like the dance you hop from spot to spot (just made that up)

That's what I say!! But I keep hearing 'poker'. Apparently, Gareth Southgate wears a poker dot tie according to the sports guy on the telly. I miss such a lot shouting at the tv!! grin

Polka dots. The polka comes from the Czech word pulka apparently.

I've always called them polka dots.

that are on clothes, ties etc? Are they called polka dots or poker dots?
