A lot of people get confused.
They quite like to call me Julian Gander .. which isn't, I'm sorry to say my name.
I get a quizzical look from time to time, and then a shrug
A lot of people think it might be to do with Geese as in Goosey Goosey
Others think it's a play on the word gander as in to have a glance ...
Thanks to the reach of the internet some think I'm Canadian and live in or near Gander Mountain in Newfoundland ... a place by the way that looks beautiful.
It's also famous for taking 38 planes of people during 9/11 and housing all the people there for a while. The musical Far From Away is brilliant and all about this .. it is also by the way the last big night out I had before the lockdown in 2020.
The truth is far less exciting, and has only been worked out by one another Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan.
I have two children Gabriel and Alexander ( shortened to Xander )
So Gander is a portmanteau of both their names ... See simple when you now how !!
