You're going out on the town tonight! Shoreditch won't know what's hit it. What are you most looking forward to?

Your mate is off to the bar. What early modern drink do you ask for?

The band's taking requests! What do you ask for?

It's your round! How do you call the tapster over?

You're feeling a bit peckish. What food do you order?

You strike up a conversation with a gorgeous stranger. You'd love to take them home and show them your woodcuts: how do you make your move?

Someone spills your drink. What do you do?

And finally: where in the inn do you prefer to hang out?
