I know a few Welsh people and honestly I reckon the hating the English thing is not as bad as is often made out, I think it's really just limited to sport, particularly Rugby. I only know one who is even a pro independence nationalist. A few are quite happy to support England in sport though most just aren't really concerned with it. In north Wales you have the most people who speak the Welsh language, signs are in Welsh, the nationalist movement is strongest, and even when I've been in the villages there I've never been treated badly.
I would say the most hostility toward English people (in this country) comes from Scottish nationalists. I'm not sure if even the Irish are as bad as them.
