Lived at the same address

I had been having a year of noticing coincidences. My flat mate and I would say "funny you should say that" every time the other mentioned something they had just done, seen, eaten, experienced or whatever, which was similar to something the other had done. Anyway. This culminated on New Year's Even in our flat. We had a New Year's Eve party. I got talking to a girl at the party and asked her where she was from originally. As soon as she said "Sutton Coldfield" I knew what was going to happen. (I had lived in Sutton Coldfield for the first six years of my life before moving to Essex.) Me: "I used to live in Sutton Coldfield. Where about?" Her: "In a small village near it called Mere Green." Me: "I used to live in Mere Green. Which road?" Her: "It was called Essex Road." Me: "I used to live in Essex Road. Which number?" Her: "Number 29." Me: "I used to live at number 29." I was being very flippant, because as I say I knew what was coming, and of course she didn't believe me. However, when I described the house, that bit was about halfway down the hill on the right, and the only thing that made this house different to any of the others was that it had a small pond in the back garden right next to the house, I think she did realise I was telling the truth. In fact, it turned out that we had had the same bedroom too.
