Luckily, Andrew is a persistent chap. He didn’t just shrug and move to Canada. He dug out his original scroll, made some frantic phone calls, and even wrote a letter on parchment for maximum effect. The City officials, touched by his passion, reinstated him with a flourish.
The whole process took about three weeks and involved a lot of “please don’t take my medieval street cred away” energy. The clerk in charge apparently sent him a postcard saying, “Welcome back, Freeman,” with a cartoon of a gavel. It’s the little things.
What did Andrew do to save it?
He did the most Andrew thing possible: he wrote a witty, heartfelt poem about the importance of community and tradition. He recited it (via Zoom, because 2026) to a committee of Aldermen. They were so charmed, they not only reinstated him but gave him a commemorative quill.
“I think they were just bored,” he joked. But honestly, it’s a testament to the fact that traditions only stay alive if people care enough to fight for them. Andrew cared. He even baked a Victoria sponge cake for the office. Never underestimate the power of carbs in diplomacy.
