The accent is the only difference. Welsh people are just the same as English people, they just have a nice accent, they sort of lengthen their words. Some Welsh people also speak Welsh which is a very strange language to those who don't understand it.

Both Historically and Genetically the differences are HUGE. As modern people the differences are slight although the rural Welsh folk are well renowned for their friendly nature, people are people and one can't generalise too much. English is spoken over all of the U.K. but the welsh have their own language which is one of the most ancient of the Celtic/Gaelic languages in the world.

The Welsh are the true Britons. The English are a mixture of invaders. As for the accent, the Welsh have different accents as do the English. Someone from London sounds different to someone from Liverpool and someone from Cardiff sounds different to someone from Anglesey and so forth.

Welsh people live in the hills with the sheep. They have no electricity or telephone line.
English people live in the lap of luxury and wear bowler hats and tweed suits.

We don't sound the same, we both have different regional dialects.
For example, I am british and a Sanddancer (coming from South Shields in between Sunderland and Newcastle) despite proximity, most Sanddancers would rather be thought of as Geordies (Newcastle) but there are London accents, not to be confused with Cockney, with is very broad. Liverpool, Yorkshire, Manchester, the list is endless.

Wales is no different, around it's capital, Wales has a softer accent than many of the far reaches. I would say there's not much difference in looks, as both countries have been diluted over the years by invaders and those moving in, so that our countries are diverse.

As to the guy who hates the British "because he is Scottish" being from the North East, I have never had any problems in Scotland, and have lived and worked there for years in my youth - it was great. They seem to like Geordies, but have a real problem with those further down South - they do, as he says, appreciate the Welsh more.

Not sure about banks in Wales to be truthful, have not been to Wales for a long time - from an English person's point of view, it is better to visit larger towns, smaller villages are quite racist to English people - even when I was a child - I was met with prejudice and rudeness in almost every little place I have been.

Yes, Welsh banks are the same as English ones.

Sorry, I can't reply to the rest of your question because I am too amused...
