There were FOUR seeds inside!

Go down to Poundstretcher. Much cheaper there.

You get what you pay for, if you want field grown seed of varieties
that went out of use commercially over 60 years ago then go to
Poundstretcher, if you want F1 hybrid all female varieties then you
have to pay for them, it is comm0n for F1 varieties to cost from 35p
to 50p a seed bought in bulk by growers.
T&M do advertise Cucino cucumber as 4 seeds to a packet

There are hundreds of skips full of cucumbers in Germany
