Default Laying floor tiles with a wavy edge?

I'm about to make my first ever attempt at laying ceramic floor tiles.
I've read various guides on the internet and from Wickes and watched
the Topps DVD on measuring, laying out and cutting etc.. But there has
been no mention of what to do with tiles having a wavy edge.

The tiles I've bought are basically a 33cm square in overall shape but
each edge is not straight but rather a little bit wavy. Regardless of
the orientation I choose there seems to be a varying gap alongside
each tile when laid next to its neighbour. I've laid a few out by hand
(no adhesive yet) and they look OK to me but I haven't used tile
spacers and don't even know whether I can/should use them. Is there
any advice for laying such tiles "correctly"?

Thanks,
Tim.
