I thought Adele was as Cockney as you could get, you can only have 1 not 2.

[Tokyo-Saint]

Adele is from Norwood in South London but I think her parents are Welsh. She may have just made this up to go into direct competition with Duffy and Charlotte Church.

[Barry Sanchez]

Her dad is Welsh but she has nothing to do with Wales and her father.

She only said last year she would spit in her fathers face so I find it strange she would want to be Welsh after that.
