Referring to Welsh people as English is incorrect and is likely to cause annoyance. The geo-political ties between England and Wales are strong, although some light-hearted anti-English sentiment is common, particularly in the patriotic North West of the country.
Furthermore, in the North West there are high levels of support for independence, which isn't shared by the mainly Anglicised areas. If you don't want to get into a long and pointless debate, it is best to avoid these topics.
'Sheep shagging' doesn't actually happen in Wales. Taunts of sheep shagging may be at first taken in jest, but the Welsh may get tedious if taunting continues. In addition, the relationship between England and Wales is long and complex and sometimes very controversial. English people in Wales should not face any significant problems, however, it is best to try not to flaunt the fact you're English.
