Sorry Welshboy.
You are a British citizen
If you were born in the United Kingdom before 1 January 1983
If you were born in the United Kingdom before 1 January 1983, you are almost certainly a
British citizen. The only exception is if you were born to certain diplomatic staff of foreign missions who had diplomatic immunity.
If you were born in the United Kingdom on or after 1 January 1983
If you were born in the United Kingdom on or after 1 January 1983, you are a
British citizen if at the time of your birth one of your parents was:
■a British citizen; or
■legally settled in the United Kingdom.
However, you may wish to give up (renounce) your citizenship so that, for instance, you can become a citizen of another country that does not allow dual nationality. But it is not always possible to give up your British citizenship or nationality, however if your Welsh we'll make an exception.
Interestingly, for those with kids born in Thailand... Children born outside the UK to British citizens by descent
After 13 January 2010, children of British citizens by descent can be registered under section 3(2) of the British Nationality Act 1981 if an application is made at any time before their 18th birthday.
