Came home from work yesterday on Underhill road to find a big stack of what looks like Tar for a driveway on our front path in our front garden ... A/ we don't have a drive and B/ we didn't order it.

I have attached a photo of what it looks like, I don't think its been dumped as its been neatly stacked, and its new and still wrapped in plastic.

Would appreciate if anyone can help as its a bit tricky manoeuvring past it in the morning :/

If is Afghan black my reply would be the same as if it was Liquorice.

I am Keen to find out who's placed it here still and find its rightful owners... (also keen as who ever left it here can repair any damage to the path too they might have caused)

emu> That looks like Tar used for a flat roof, so best off

emu> looking for someone that's got some roofing work happening.


Just in case someone searches online for the stuff, let's throw a few more keywords into the mix:


Misdelivered Underhill East Dulwich SE22 5663 CROMAR Oxidised bitumen slab grade 9525 23kg keg 5 September 2017

All sorted, just as I was leaving for work this morning two guys asked me to move my car, I asked why to which they said they needed to get equipment around the back to resurface a balcony and flat roof at my flat ... I pointed out I was on the ground floor and had neither. So one of the guys phoned his builder mate and said he thought he told him to deliver to (my) address... to which after a few expletives to said mate on the phone, I was sheepishly informed they were meant to be at a property the other end of Underhill.. the address no where near similar to mine apart from road name.

Hoping its all been shifted by the time I get home :)

Thanks for all the suggestions anyway.

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
