SIR: I am producing a documentary on the popular history of the semi-detached house. The programme will be transmitted on BBC Radio Two in September, and I am writing to ask if any of your readers have stories to tell about the British "semi". Perhaps you have lived in the same "semi" all your life, perhaps you helped design or build semi-detached housing in the 1920s or 1930s, or perhaps the one you live in is rather unusual in some way. Please write to me at the following address:
