I wanna work for the other 30%

Presumably the "other" 30% will now be targeted relentlessly by the "research" firms as they obviously have too much money. I find it hard to believe that senior managers (those who still have the power to make purchasing decisions) would fall for such a brazen attempt to phish for budget information.
Next up, we'll have the dodgy-geezer "security" consultants: "'Allo guv. We're doin' a survey of local businesses. Wot kinda burgular [sic] alarm have you got? 'Ow abaht internal security - innit. 'Ave yer got any card-entry systems? 'Coz we can send ovah a security guard if yer like - 'E's really good - gotta dog too."
