Default Gherkin flowers

Hi all,

Just wondering what to do with all the male flowers that are developing on
my Gherkin plant, so far I've been removing them. Since this is the first
time I have grown a gherkin I'm wondering if this is correct practice.

I'm also growing the 'Crystal Lemon' cucumber do I also have to remove the
male flowers from this? I presume this will stop the cucumbers turning
bitter if I remove them but is it rearly necessary or do they need to stay
on without affecting the fruit quality.

Cheers

John
