I suggest the criteria for posting should be:-
Must be a contractor or successful permie who used to contract. (no pretend contractors) Tick
No longterm benchers (successful types only) Tick - for now
Must have at least one degree. (no thickies) Only the finest the Hatfield Poly could provide
Must own at least one house. (home owners only) Tick - but it's a bit tatty
Must be detached. No semis or terraced unless BTLs. Deffo no bungalows. 5 acres or more land preferable or high end city real estate. Tick, Tick, Tick - but why not, Hmmm - possibly not the last one
At least two cars. Car, Motorbike, and a push bike count?
Must have warchest of 50k plus. Well as you have not specified the currency - Tick
Must not live in Luton. Very close but I think a Tick here
Must never have pushed the boundaries far enough to get a ban............
Can I stay and will you go?Comment

Forget the list. I live in Switzerland therefore automatically qualify as rich enough, as there are no poor people here. At least, none worth speaking of.
Working class English go to Spain, the middle class to France. Only the best end up in CH.*
