Onion help

This is the first year I've grown onions with any success - mainly
because I bought sets rather than planting seed, I suspect.
The onions are filling out in the bulb and stem and the leaves are
starting to bend and break - I think this is what they're supposed
to do, so that's okay.
They plants are beginning to produce buds - do I need to pinch them
out, or leave them to flower? Also, can I start pulling the onions
now for immediate use, or should I wait till the foliage goes yellow?
I always pinch the buds off and have always pulled a few that are big
enough as soon as they are just that, they might be a bit wet but are
fine to eat.
Thanks. I should just have asked in the Shed!
