My street’s WhatsApp

There's your problem, when we moved I was sure to be friendly with my neighbours but specifically ask that they never add me to the group

Yeah you're probably right. This is the first place we've owned and we're wanting to be here for a long time. Never been invited to a street group chat before in any of the previous places we've lived…

And thanks @cornelius_blackfoot, will keep those links handy!

Basic gist, you have to keep them for a couple of years and the benefits appear.
