Right, and not to split hairs, but are the Welsh really a part of the British?

The only perspective I have on this is that Welsh heritage is celebrated in the States in the context of Celtic heritage. When I go out to Celtic festivals in my Utilikilt, I've always considered Wales to be, in spirit at least, something in the 'other' category--with Ireland and Scottland. I don't actually know how people in the area identify themsleves, so I admit I am ignorant here. But as for myself, my heritage is Welsh, and I consider that to be Celtic, not British. I've always felt that 'my' people--the Welsh, make Dr. Who. Not that it really matters in any serious way.
