True, but the analogy you make is not completely appropriate. Wales, like Scotland, England, and Northern Ireland are actually fully separate countries, united under the banner of the United Kingdom. When you call a "San Diegan" a "New Yorker", for example, you're confusing separate parts of the same country (forgetting our little states). But call someone born in and living about Cardiff a "Londoner", and you're citing a place that's not even in his country at all.
