I'm British and I've never eaten a chip butty gj. As for crusts I crumb them and freeze them. Always useful.

very hard to find thin sliced, roll it with rolling pin to make it thin, used to do this for pinwheel sarnies for childrens birthdays

But it would be all squashed and compressed! Not very nice for delicate sandwiches...confused

My mum always used to peel the cucumber, I really don't know why. I never have as life is too short.

What I need is a toast rack that has slats wide enough to take doorstep toast.

If you peel the cucumber you can eat the rind (to save waste obs) before you sit down to enjoy the sandwich! Double whammy!

Brings back memories of nearly 50 years ago meeting future MIL. Every Sunday for 5 years she proudly gave me tinned salmon and cucumber sandwiches.

I hated them but managed to sort of eat them (I was only 16 and a bit scared of her). Kept this up until we married after 5 years of courtship when I came clean and she never gave me another one. But she did remind me several times.
