Cucumber sandwiches

I'd forgotten how delicious these are, especially during the recent heatwave. White bread is sometimes just the thing for a tea time sandwich. If you can't get hold of a cucumber, use the government issued tin of tuna, drained and mixed with mayonnaise.

Crusts on or off, I'll leave that to your discretion...
