Oh, definitely! Blu-Scoob, by the look of your signature, you may be somewhere in the middle of North Wales and Chester? And you are very happy with it? Ok, that's cool.
But generally, people are either this side or the other. There's a lot or rivalry between the Welsh and English, even in this century.
Lot of Welsh people, specially men don't feel comfortable in socialising in Chester due to this discrimination. Apparently, English bully them just by looking at them, as if to say "I am higher than you because I am English 
". Oh right! Welsh say: "Shut up. I am higher than you because I literally live on the hills, you plainer." 
And then, they start fighting.Terrible.

Mostly, I agree, though I was somewhat unnerved in Blackrock rugby one year by one. Wanted to talk about Liverpool FC at me whilst I had a ****. Later I understood he was just pissed and did this to everyone (not necessarily in the bogs).
Arthur Emyr's a Gog and I remember him playing for Wales and Swansea. And eating in the Indian that was next to or is now part of the Anarkali on Brynymor road.

I hadn't heard the term Gog for years until a friend introduced me to a new girlfriend, a loud nurse from Swansea - her first words to me were "Oh my god, you're a Gog!".

English -> Saesneg or "Saes". Meaning Saxon, similar to the Scottish "Sassenach".
Calling people from the south English only works if they don't start speaking Welsh back at you. Though given 9 out of 10 don't, you're normally on safe ground from that angle.

It's quite simple really. Main issue is learning the sounds of things like "ch", ll" and realising "w" and "y" are vowels and there's no "z".
NOTE: I can't understand 1/2 of what I could back in the day.
