Are you serious? A written "thank you for the interview" note might be uncommon in the US but it's pretty much conventional interview wisdom. And if it is uncommon that's all the more reason to do it: you'll stand out. Do you truly think a written thank you note would be a negative in the UK? When I interview candidates for anything but relatively entry level positions I'll generally write off a candidate that doesn't bother to at least send a follow up email. The interview process is among the most personally significant forms of professional communication. If you're not thorough and don't take the initiative to follow up when interviewing, how are you going to behave when you have much less of a personal stake in the matter? (This is, by the way, also a good reason to make sure your resume/cv is as perfect if you can make it. If you don't bother to proofread your resume, what is your business communication going to look like?)
