In the UK, grilling is the same as broiling in the US.
Griddling is the same as grilling in US.

Griddles don't leave marks and can be used for pancakes and sandwiches and other stuff. Grills leave marks and a different flavor.
 
As to the bread warmer, I don't actually use the warmer part but it is great for storing homemade breads.
I have another one that has a flat lid that makes a great cookie basket.

My griddle is a large flat 'frying" pan that I make pancakes, drop scone, griddle cakes, griddle scone, tattie scones, crumpets, oatcakes (potteries version), flat bread such as pita and chapatti and the likes on. It is similar to an Indian tawa but slightly thicker and heavier. I have 2 of them. One is round with a long handle (age measured in half centuries), the other is basically a solid piece of iron in a rectangle with 1 D ring handle. You don't need to season it, grease it or the likes and again it is even older. It was given to my late grandmother a wedding present pre WWII.

My grandmother bought a non-stick griddle sometime in the 1980's. She pretty much wore it out but it makes the best toast and cheese sandwiches. She replaced it in the mid 1990's. I took it because I needed a griddle. I used it for years. When she died I got the "new" griddle. Her great-granddaughter (my adopted daughter) wanted the old one when she got married. Marriage didn't last. She has lugged that griddle with her everywhere. The handle is wore out. Her now boyfriend offered to buy her a new one, but she loves the thing.
I think that is a matter of we know exactly how it will cook every time.

It's confusing for me definitely. For me, grilling is applying heat from above the food and griddling is applying heat from below using a "hot plate". I'm not sure what I would call applying heat from below directly (as in barbecue).

[Why is the acronym for barbecue - BBQ?]
 
Today was my Grannie's Lasagne (but made without dairy products). Homemade oven chips and peas. I didn't make the peas.
Lunch was some of those hard boiled eggs from yesterday. Photos may happen tomorrow. I am currently trying my hardest to wear out my Brother sewing machine making solar shield blinds for the sunroom and then any spare material will be used either in the sitting room or in the laundry to try to reduce the issues there.
