I would agree with that statement when I was younger. In the past 5 years I have been going up there about once a month (including during bad weather) on my motorbike with a work mate, he is English and would agree that we have never encountered the problem.
I can only recall once in the Indian restaurant we regularly visit when we had a guy going on a bit promoting the Welsh language. I think they have come to realise they have very little income apart from tourism, so they don't bite the hand that feeds them these days.
There is however a level of hatred for the English amongst the extreme element of the Plaid Cymru party and its supporters who want devolution. I think these people have not yet realised Wales would be bankrupt without the handouts from those they so despise.

School after school are being closed as English Medium and reopened (with a new Welsh language name of course) as Welsh Medium. Because of "demand". A demand I have never heard of outside the offices of certain politicians.

We can blame Welsh Labour for the social engineering!
I do know of a family (not Welsh) that moved out of Cardiff because they were being surrounded by foreigners, they had moved from Bradford to Cardiff for the same reason.
