>From my visits to both North and South Wales, the latter is a
very good description.  And, frankly, when I lived in Great
Britain, it seemed to me that people tended to either stay in
their own towns and not intermingle much with other
villages/neighborhoods other than going shopping a a larger city
once in a while, or they headed for a big city as soon as they
could leave home.  It's not the length and breadth of Wales that
is the issue in regionality, it's the terrain. :)  

In fact, there are some areas here in the "Endless Mountains"
region of northern PA that reminds me of parts of North Wales.
