About once or twice a week mid morning, about six cars park up and a group of men and women, mainly women middle aged walk down the street to one of the houses. I think they have folders or similar. Smartly dressed in the main too.

Aside from the obvious swinging, what would they be doing? Sales? Religious conversion? Weight watchers?

I'm going with sales reps meeting their manager. Boring answer but most likely one.

Next most likely one is Men in Black type scenario. The house is just the top station to an underground alien research facility.

Both seem equally plausible theories.

Dissonance raises a great point there. If they don’t come out again it has to be human sacrifices.

Just dress up in your best suit, grab a folder and follow them into the house like you're the new guy. Let us know what happens if you survive.

Cars, are we talking 1-3yr old Astra repmobiles?
Smartly dressed - shiny Burton suit type of smart of pearl and twinset type of smart?
Pampas grass in the garden?

It could be a cabal meeting to take over the world, one leafy suburban avenue at a time. I think you owe it to the rest of us to burst in during their next tryst and find out. Probably naked is best, or better still naked and buttered up, so their tracking devices don't see you coming. Let us know how it goes.

They prefer the term "Esselte exhibitionists".

Do they all leave at the same time? Are they wearing the same clothes they went in with?

Sounds like a Jehovah's Witness meeting. Up until a few months ago a couple of JW's lived across the road from us and this happened every week at their home.

My understanding is that that all meet up to plan their route before heading out door knocking.

Always smartly dressed with the blokes in dark suits, usually with white shirts and dark ties.

Just ordered some butter and a go pro.

They look more Herbalife than Jehovah.

Just remember the password is "Fidelio" and you'll be fine.

Pampas grass in the garden?

I'm on Orkney this week.
I've never seen so much pampas grass in people's gardens. I counted one house with 24 pampas plants.

Could be a meeting of STW Moderators, worshiping around the alter of Dracs iPad.

JDubs unless one of them is Hillary Clinton and is carrying pizza boxes rather than a briefcase, in which case it's just a run of the mill paedo vampire lizard thing.

Maybe they are scienologists.

Is there a big black SUV with tinted windows at the end of the street?

Just dress up in your best suit, grab a folder and follow them into the house like you’re the new guy.

This, but take a friend and once you get inside start dancing like Bowie and Jagger.

I'm going with either JW-a-likes or Amway-a-likes. If two there are, a master and an apprentice, then it's probably the former.

Frankly I'm with Scruffy, that's genius. Rock up looking like you're supposed to be there and say "Ken sent me" if challenged.
