What is a "spork" called in the UK?

In the US, fast food restaurants used to make plastic spoons and forks available. Now they have plastic "sporks". A spork is a spoon with very short tongs at the end so that it can be used as a fork.

    Its spork.

    Maybe that is because we have adopted the word but I have always called them sporks and I've lived in England all my life. Its a good word anyway :)

    Oh and I've never heard the term 'runsible spoon'. Maybe that's its proper name but i have never heard it used.
