Peppers, removing initial flowers?

Hey folks I have two plastic greenhouses for my peppers and tomatoes which are still on my windowsil at the moment. The tomatoes are from 20-30cm and I'm moving them up to final pots and into the greenhouses since it seems it's warming up enough. 

However with the peppers it seems I'd be best to wait until the end of this month, most are around 6" tall but one variety is 1ft and has flower buds forming. There seems to be conflicting advice on whether to chop these off or just let them become early/smaller fruit?

    I'd leave them, I grow chillies which are the same and I leave them:)

    I always leave them on and get great crops. image

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
