Do You Have a Brit Connection?

This one comes straight from the heart - as anyone’s enthusiasm other than my own, simply would not do justice. Admittedly, I am partial – I love all things English, what can I say?

More so than usual, this time of year drifts me back home ; Christmas pudding, Mince pies, Quality Street, Christmas Crackers (no you don’t eat them!) and so many other favorites, really too many to mention…

For those of you that have not experienced the delight of British sundries; be it Christmas or the middle of Summer it’s always a good time for a cup of Tetley’s and a Penguin. What does all this mean I hear you cry!? For those of you that don’t know – ok the majority of people reading - that would be a cup of the best Tea in the world accompanied by an old favorite; chocolate Penguin bars! Please do take a look for yourself and allow me to introduce your one stop shop for fabulous British fare; The Brit Connection can be found athttp://www.thebritconnection.com/

Pamela and Michael are the lovely owners of this delightful shop – If there is something you want and don’t see it on the website – let them know! They will do their best to accommodate your request.

This Holiday Season, Speed USA Group would like to thank the Brit Connection for bringing us a little piece of home, from far across the pond.

Cheers!

Play on Ice...

Afraid your date is going to be bored by the same old dinner-and-a-movie agenda? Then it might be time to see some action at a Thunderbirds hockey game in the brand new ShoWare Center.

ShoWare Center is a newly opened venue, built specially for the local T-Birds hockey team. It’s right off I-5 in Kent, 20 minutes South of downtown. There isn’t a bad seat in the house, and tickets will run you $22 or less. Food and drink are in the same price range as you would expect (think $7 for a beer, and $4 or $5 for a burger/hot dog), but less than what you would find at a Mariners or Seahawks game.

Hockey is a fast-paced and exciting game to watch, even if it’s your first time seeing it. You’ll love cheering along with the home crowd and watching the players rough each other up on the ice. Though it isn’t for the faint of heart…it’s the only sport where fighting is allowed! But don’t worry, it isn’t like watching a UFC match—after all, how effective can anyone be at fighting while wearing ice skates?

There is also a raffle during every game, and—my favorite part!—the Chuck-a-Puck contest. Throw a Styrofoam hockey puck through a car’s open sunroof, and you could win a host of prizes, including the grand prize of $10,000! For those of you who don’t win, keep your eye on the blimp floating through the arena as it showers gift certificates and free giveaways on the crowd during breaks. You’re bound to come away with something!

And ladies, if you want to really knock your man’s socks off, take a few minutes to read up on the rules of the game. Your date will think he’s found the perfect woman when you holler at the refs for that terrible “slashing” call!
