I wonder, then, what you mean by "unconstructive". The epithet of "Mayor" was one which came to be associated with an office which has a long history. This history preceeds the use of this particular term, since the office with which it has come to be associated was described using a number of terms over some considerable period of time. For example, within Cambridge, this office pre-dated even 1207, since, prior to this date, the "Reeve" was appointed by the crown. The difference made by the charter of King John of 1207 was that it was granted to the local burgesses to appoint to this office. It is, therefore, misleading to suggest that Cambridge possessed a Mayor only from 1213.

2007 marked the eight hundredth anniversary of the aforementioned charter. My colleagues and I spent over a year and a half planning a whole series of events throughout the year in order to commemorate and to celebrate the event. These efforts earned us the title of "Civic Office of the Year", on the fifteenth of March 2007.

For the sake of anonymity, I did not wish to use my personal name, and, for the purposes of a pen name, my job title seemed a good choice.
