Actually, New Zealand is a bit bigger than the UK
It's probably because we're such a fiercely Clannish race of people and tend to hang onto our old customs and names, region by region.
Not population-wise, which is what I meant.
Apparently, New Zealand can fit into Sydney, Australia can fit into London (population)
Here crumpet has a completely different taste and texture to pikelet or pancake. You wouldn't put jam and cream on a crumpet (well I wouldn't - yuk!) But you could put jam I suppose, or melt cheese on top of crumpets - yum, cheese on top of a pikelet - yuk! Also, crumpets have holes right down to the base, where pikelets don't.
Even looking at my pictures you can see a huge difference - but that's my country.
