Yes Abba were great, timeless .

Re: Abba
I loved that video Mags. Didn't Susan sing it beautifully?Abba music seems to bridge the generation gap. Three generations in my family like them - me, my daughter in law and my 10 year old granddaughter.
The film Mama Mia was responsible for getting Abba a whole lot of younger fans.

My granddaughter loves the Abba music and must have nearly worn her Mama Mia DVD out
She even named her cat Mia!
