Not according to Wiki "Pikelet, an alternative name for a crumpet" & "In England, there is also a regional variant of the crumpet called the pikelet. It is usually made from the same batter as a crumpet, but the way in which it differs from a crumpet varies from place to place. In some parts of England (for example in the Midlands, around Wolverhampton) a pikelet is simply a crumpet without holes. In other parts (for example, Lancashire) it has holes, but is wider, thinner and more irregular than a crumpet because it is made without being restrained by a mould, and so spreads in the pan (or griddle) while cooking.[5]"

i'm sure they are different things...if you pop into MnS you'll find they are! I love both but think of pikelets as flattened crumpets ( I know they aren't really!)
On the same topic...why is it warburtons crumpets are simply better than any others?
Finally...to the OP...congrats on a thread with great potential, lets hope it doesn't get ruined! I'll go and read the next few pages now and discover it has!
