Should I leave gap for grout inbetween border tiles?

[HelenW]

Hi there

My husband and I have just finished tiling our bathroom and are having a disagreement. We have laid the border tiles http://www.wickes.co.uk/Marmaris-Ceramic-Border-Tiles/invt/235356 but my husband put spacers inbetween all the border tiles which I believe affects the flow of the pattern, I think it would have been better without a gap. So my question is should you leave a gap for grout inbetween border tiles, the tiles are over the bath containing a shower so part of it will get quite wet.
Many thanks for your help.

Helen
