Herman told me of a bad experience he had before he became a star . . . he had his license taken way, was forbidden to drive, and got a heavy fine for driving a car that was unfit for the roads! . . . That must be the reason we see him spending his free days doing plenty of walking in the London parks, (sometimes with a girlfriend) - or walking with his dog in Manchester!
      Speaking of The Hermits, their own Barry Whitwam told us that one of his pet hates is "folks who knock groups when they know nothing about them!" . . . I'm with you, Bar!
