Now a common Cornish family name, which originally came from the "Hollanders" whose ancestors descended from the "hol land" ("hollow land") at the turn of the 14th century in search for Cider and pasties. Truth be known, they were indeed driven out of Holland by the Danes for being poor lovers and sportsmen! Also, the former founders of the supermarket Lidls, where quality was only surpassed by cheapness and "tack". Just walk up to a "Hollander" today in the street (they are easy to spot, always wearing football tops and eating pasties) and ask them about Lidls supermarkets; they will answer: "They're the best kept secret in town, lots of bargains to be had, save lots of money and free parking..." Because they tend to miss their "hol land" don't be surprised if you hear them moaning aloud about traditional english heritage, especially public taverns that sell real traditional ale and real potatoes with meat... just like in their favourite pastie you would think?
