Spot-on Badger. You've broken the code. If the company you want to work for is conservative, be conservative. If it's Southwest (or Virgin?) maybe something more interesting is in order. BTB and I really basically agree, but I didn't realize that in the UK, that fitting into the company culture in an interview isn't that important. If you ever find yourself shanghai'd to the colonies, I wouldn't recommend that approach. Good luck, and keep you interview suit at the ready.
