Good Old Delroy, he gets all the best Jobs :)

WOW that is some statement to make, unfair IMO.

Del has probably wired more council flats in his 40 years on the tools than we ever will

Is that Cockney rhyming slang ?? (as he's from London, so would be kinda clever)

Dogs Watch, Scotch ? nah
Dogs Watch, Crotch ? really ??
Dogs Watch, Botch ? maybe ?
Dogs Watch, Notch ? nah

I must be a bit King Dick...

Still luv Delroy thou , best celebrity sparks by a mile

I remember the one where he was sorting some dodgy sockets under kitchen cupboards. He routed the cables around the cupboards and up the wall completely out of any prescribed zones and called it a good job.

Probably was a good job judging by some of the carp he does, 0 out of 10 as a spark for me, terrible work at times, a chancer at best.

Its call-out so in an 8 hour day in London you probably only do 5 invoice-able hours work (and thats on a good day)

Many moons ago I did call out jobs for an electrical company in South London , it could take over an hour to get from one job to the next. Some jobs I would have to park a 1/2 mile away from the job and walk the rest as literally no on site parking.
I got bus lane tickets and parking tickets which I had to pay for etc etc etc
£100p/h is the bare minimum I would charge doing emergency call-outs in London these days

He makes up the hour he lost, as once he's there, he takes longer than that wandering around in circles trying to figure things out.
Oh my days !!

He's alright

I'd probably rate him about 5/10 on practical and 4/10 on theory

How would you rate yourself, solely on the basis of posts to this forum?

I think we need to bear in mind that Delroy's channel is essentially for entertainment and shows edited snapshots from various jobs. Maybe his work is much better than edited footage suggests and maybe it's much worse, but we've no way of knowing.

Between 4-6 not that highly

Practical 8 theory 9 qualifications compared to Del's as we don't know what his quals, experiences 10,quals are as I say impossible to comment on,, was Del a fully trained Apprentice? what tech quals does Del hold if any??? questionable as there isn't any info available, question is Del just a jobber / handy Electrician, there are nil pointers to his early life, did Del just pick up what he knows?? He harps on about a possible post as to how he got into the trade, which isn't forthcoming as yet, maybe we will eventually know the full story, over to you "Delroy the spark" 10 times the spark he claims to be or ever will be.
