That sounds like a Clevis pin to me Pete!

That's a Clevis Pin because it fits into a Cleviis

So what are the little doodaads called that resemble a very small tube with a slit down one side (from end to end)?. Needed one a few weeks ago and no
idea what they're called!

A Roll pin ?
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Big Wasa (and Mark Chandler) are right, Coyoteboy obviously works at Halfrauds They are now secured by having a square, tapered bottom bracket shaft,
with a matching square tapered hole in the pedal crank, the ends of the shaft have a fine-pitch thread into which a bolt is screwed to retain the
crank, this is recessed into the body of the pedal, then finished off with a plastic cap. See pic on the link ---> linky The exception to this is
BMXs which have a one-piece crank.
No, I just have picked up americanisms it seems  Plus in many years of engineering have never had to resort to a cotter pin 
Oh, and now who works in halfords - square taper is old hat

FWIW I have just found this etymology online:
"The terms cotter and "cotter pin" are sometimes used interchangeably, although they have different functions. Basically a cotter
holds parts together and a "cotter pin" holds the cotter in its place."
Which is the way I'd always assumed it to be, but who knows
