According to Abba: The Official Photo Book, published to mark 40 years since they won Eurovision with Waterloo, the band’s style was influenced in part by laws that allowed the cost of outfits to be deducted against tax – so long as the costumes were so outrageous they could not possibly be worn on the street.

      I can’t wear a suit if I’m not working. Sounds like claim time.

      I also can’t use suit while working. Ok I’ll come clean, I don’t have any suits.

      LOL wut?! Quote me chapter and verse please, actual law, case law or tax code.

      Y’all really believe anything anyone says as long as it conforms to your preexisting beliefs, don’t ya? Dunno, sounds like a rather conservative mindset to me.
