 To be honest number of British use them interchangeably and wouldn’t know
the differences. And some areas are less in the public eye so folks
knowledge is lacking.
 I remember having a conversation with a colleague who was from Ugandan
originally who was going though citizenship and that folks knowledge of
Ugandan so I asked her to tell me about the Brecon Beacons or the Welsh
Valleys, or maybe the Welsh knot? To her credit she accepted that despite
living only 2hrs away she had no idea of Wales which as she said was tad
embarrassing.

In university, I shared an apartment with a guy whose granma was from Llandeilo, this was enough to put the valleys and the Brecon Beacons as names onto my mental map of the UK despite living on the other end of the country ;-)
