Any Welsh I've spoken to in the past have either been apathetic towards the English or have disliked them, no great love there at all.

Was going to say the same. I thought that was actually a typo. As far as I know the Welsh supporters in soccer have a right 'boo' when GSTQ is played.

Always came across to me that the Anglo-Irish and Anglo-Scot relations were more bitter and Welsh nationalism was always quite soft. Must be wrong.

No that would be my reading of it as well, it's just that the Welsh are happy with there lot regarding independence, status quo suits them, but they dislike the English because of the way the English treat them (attitudes, slagging, disdain etc...) like their backward, sheep shaggers, thick etc... imo anyway

I found the Welsh to be more vocal about disliking the English and quicker to say so. The Scots and Irish tend to keep their powder dry until they get drunk and then it can get a bit messy. I think the Irish and Scots tend to mean it more, while for the Welsh v English its more of a slagging thing. I also noticed both here in England and in Australia that Nationalists, Unionists and people from the Republic tend to be united when they slagging off the English.
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.

Any Welsh I've met weren't too keen on the English
