I've been to Wales in the UK, some of the nicest laid back attitudes I've ever seen. I stayed at a bed and breakfast there, and they really went above and beyond, made me feel like I was one of the family. Good breakfast too.
But what I've been talking about is here in America, people can be very rude here now, very superficial attitudes a lot of the time and many people will judge you unless you're with them for more than a few minutes, they just don't have time not to judge you otherwise. It's the ol "I'm only seeing them for a couple of minutes so fuck them" mentality. It's that way in London too. Wales folks probably still are a little more old fashioned where they actually view people as someone who matters, even if they don't know them.
Wales and the Welsh aren't perfect. Like anywhere, there's a certain percentage of arseholes, but people are generally decent.
I avoid London as much as possible. It's about three hours away from us by car and we often drive around it, but I haven't visited in more than a decade.
Is politeness and courtesy almost dead?

Good to know you have positive memories of Wales.
