If your setting 33cm x 22cm tiles, what trowel size would you use ?

Is 6mm trowel too small ?
In my opinion, a lot depends on how flat your walls are. If they are bang flat , try using a 6mm trowel, put up a few tiles and see what coverage you are getting. If it is not enough, go up a bit.

If the walls are a bit iffy, a bigger notch will help. How thick are the tiles?

Thanx for the advice Grumpy.
They are 9mm thick .. started putting a few up but came across a small bow in the plaster board, think its a stud, nothing much but it meant I had to back butter the next tile a little, so I stopped and was going to pop out and get a larger trowel in the morning but wanted you guys opinion first.
