    Boycott!

    Front page of the Telegraph has Elton asking Watford FC fans to join his boycott as well. Not sure that is going to impact D&G's bottom line too much.

    As D&G are trying to organise a counter-boycott of Elton, does that mean we are all suddenly obliged to buy one of his songs?!?

          Probably not, although like most fashion houses D&G almost certainly make most of their profit from the relatively low-priced, high-margin products like perfumes and sunnies that you can buy in Boots, rather than the £10k gowns which are most likely loss leaders.

            Very true, though there's also a genuine question as to whether D&G would actually make any money if it wasn't for their rather Byzantine tax structure (which is under attack by the authorities).

            I wonder if this will ultimately result in Leo Messi not having another polka-dotted evening suit to wear to the next Ballon d'Or ceremony.

              Hang on - it could actually be that serious?

                D&G use fur in their collections. That put me off them.

                I have an ancient pair of boots by them and a dress, and used to wear their perfumes, but I moved on. Not a full-on "boycott".

                  I hope this blows over before June. I'm taking my parents to see Elton at the Bescot and things could get well moody if the top boys from the D&G concession at Selfridges get tooled up and hop onto the 51 looking for bother.
