It's definitely worth a good long vacation or adventure, especially if you have couches to crash on and stretch out funds. The people are friendly, there's history and culture lying around all over the place, the food's great, it's considered properly social to drink six pints of cider with your boss after work on a Monday and throw up on her/his shoes...all good stuff. A must-have experience, in fact.
But, after a year or so, you can't take another blathering conversation about shopping and diets, you can't get a decent permanent job with your non-UK education, and the basics of life (ie booze...er, and rent, but mostly booze) drain away most of your paycheck. Seeing a pretty castle nearly every day makes up for a lot of that, tho :) (Oh, and the UK-born husband, heh.)
