Born in Cardigan. Dad from Bangor and mum from Barry. Paternal grandparents from Blaneau Festiniog with maternal grandparents being from Llanarth and Port Talbot. I'm British and then Welsh.

My eldest son was born in Bath and he regards himself as Welsh. Youngest son was born in Salisbury and he says he is Welsh. My daughter also regards herself as welsh-mind you with a name like Bethan Myfanwy Hughes she cant be anything else!

I know so many Welsh people whose family heritage is English and vice versa, it's quite funny.

I was born in Cardiff, as were my brothers. My dad was born in Cardiff as were his two parents. My mother was born in Cefn Forest as was her mother but my mum's father was English. He moved to Wales almost straight away though and never considered himself English. My dad has researched our family tree and it goes back to being mainly English and Scottish.

All I care about is me and my parents though and we're Welsh.

Who said us Welsh are inbred?! :D

Reminds me of a time when my uni mate came to skittles and he said 'skittles is so f*cking inbred' and I said 'no it isn't'. Unfortunately, we were playing a team that evening who had 7 members of the same family playing in their 12 man line up!
