We will probably get some debate on here as it seems to vary from region to region. Especially if we get people from Arctic tundra like Drummond chipping in.

But to me, this is what pikelets looks like...

<throws oil on fire>

Nope they’re Crumpets. Pikelets are thinner and wider.

No they're not, the thin wide ones are just shit pikelets.

So we are back to where we started then that they are just different words for the same thing?

Different words for the same thing in my opinion. That is a picture of some pikelets. It is also a picture of some crumpets.

And before anyone suggests it, no, I’m not changing my name to Fred Pikelet. Although it does have a certain ring to it...

Shurely just Fred Pikel?

[Fred Crump]

You’re right. It’s my kids who would be pikelets

[cdbearsfan]

No, a pikelet is NOT thinner. Unless it is a shit pikelet.

A shitelet, if you will.

*Nods sagely.

Pikelets to the working classes.
Crumpets to the privileged.

Mrs LV has a big Stokie influence and they are apparently crumpets... however they were always pikelets and were a regular tea on a Sunday night after a big Sunday dinner... don't forget your routes!

[KRS]

Villa 2-1. Now to return to the serious stuff , it’s definitely Pikelets. All shapes, all sizes. And they must only ever have lots of butter on.
 FFS, we will be calling buzzes buses next if we let standards slip like this.

Lashings of butter...but I also recommend adding either strawberry jam or peanut butter. Admittedly not one for the more traditional crumpet (or even pikelet) muncher! 😂

Or marmite.....

Crumpets are cooked (at least initially) in a metal ring so they hold their round form. Pikelets are just poured into the pan and spread a little meaning they are thinner and less well defined than a crumpet if the same amount of batter is used.

where is the linguistic border between crumpetland and pikeyville ? I grew up in Derby and it was definitely pikeys there.

we also said sc-OH-nes NOT sc-ON-es because the latter was for posh twats

and CASSLE not CARHSLE

id just like to confirm that when I said posh twats I wasnt referring to my wife. But she is posh.

[Rodders]

Pikelet apparently derives from the Welsh "pyglyd", so less North-South and more East-West?

[mr underhill]

I think it's time we got back to trying to batter tonight's opposition.

[cdbearsfan]

Scone rhymes with gone, not cone. Otherwise you're the posh twat. 😉

I can confirm this as that's how all posh twats I know pronounce the word. See also: pronouncing "bath" like it has an "r" in it.

Correct.
Now I'm eating a 'scowne' whilst running a 'barth'.
