Not sure if I'm reading you right chris. Are you saying you should find the centre point and work out from this point where your last row of full tiles is next to the wall. Then fit a batten and tile from this straight edge?

After all our efforts gcol, look like chrisz is going for the conventional layout 
However with 300m2 tiles it will not look any different.
Oops better zoom out a bit....

Fixed room and spacer sizes.
Sorry I did not attempt setting out, stuff to do.
However if you print both images below scaled to fit (without distortion), both on the same paper size you should be able to overlay them in front of a lamp. Tracing paper like and slide or rotate them to experiment with different setting out. First check they print both to the same scale by comparing with the above images.
Let me know if this works for future.

Yeah which way:
find the centre point and tile out from here, or
find the centre point, dry lay the tiles up the wall, where the last full tile lies, put down 2 battens in the corner making sure they're square, then tile properly from the corner outwards.
I think I will tile in a normal pattern, shifting the tiles slightly off centre to get get rid of the small slivers and the sliver of a tile next to the shower.
Thanks for the help guys.

Yeah, that'll work fine chris.
A room does not always lend itself to starting from one side - bathrooms are prime examples. When you do a lot of tiling, you get into a routine that works and stick to it - hence, I work outwards from the centre.
The important thing is that you have still worked your new start point from the centre point.
