We can't say it suits you, Sir Elton

Gingerly, now, to the obvious conundrum thrown up by Elton John's holiday wardrobe. Elton is enjoying a break from being irksome in England, being irksome in Capri instead, and is shown on one of his daily parades sporting something ill-fitting and in custard, accessorised by his partner David Furnish - whom sarcastic convention demands we describe as "a film producer". The pictures are bewildering. It was only three years ago that Elton had one of his episodes at Taiwan airport, screaming "rude, vile pigs!" at local photographers, before declaring that he would never return to Taiwan again. In which case, he is invited to explain where on earth he purchased his suit.
