Anyone missing a "tar" delivery for their drive?

[spark67]

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 :/

I ordered a bulk delivery of liquorice, could this be it ?

Next week the council are relaying Hindmans Road.

This could be prep..........

Or it could be Kidkruger's liquorice.

Well if its prep for hindmans road I'll be straight on to the council about using our private front garden as a storage area.... if it was liquorice I would have kept quiet and had it for myself.

Looks like 1/2oz of Afghani Black to me.

The Afghan black came in 1lb weights, occasionally half lbs, it wasn't split into blocks as in the picture and if it was it wouldn't have been for 1/2oz's.

So, actually, it's liquorice.

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)

Have you contacted Conways - at least that might rule out (or in) Southwark as the client?

That looks like Tar used for a flat roof, so best off looking for someone that's got some roofing work happening. Drive Ways are usually done with a hot mix which is delivered with the tar and chippings already combined. Good luck

Thanks for the info, That makes it easier to narrow down.

Thanks for the tip, will follow it up.

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

[spark67]

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.

[spark67]

Thanks for suggestion, all sorted now though thankfully :)

I'm glad no-one got achance to try smoking it.

[KidKruger]

You can't smoke liquorice, bro.
