When my mum moved back to the north east of England (Washington - the town where George Washington's grandparents were born) she moved into a bungalow (one story unit).
I remember the first time my wife and I drove from the West Country, up to the North to visit. She was very excited about being back in her home town and told us about all the people she'd met that she hadn't seen for many years.
She mentioned about an old bloke along the road, who knew her and my dad many years ago.
She had said to him that she "had just bought a detached-bungalow".
To which he replied "Well, I've got a 'semi' right now"
It's one of those moments, that if your brain is wired to see the funny side of that statement, you try your best not to laugh. I could hear Kenneth William's voice saying "ere, I've got a Semi" and then Barbara Winsor going "oooh, ha ha... cheeky" - Still... not appropriate, sorry I mentioned it really.
(But the true stories are usually the funniest)
