This guy used to dress like typical 60's flower power and a few times had nice girls with him again they were very 60's looking this was late 60's, he used to go over Coppice on sunny days. I don't know if Herman was a nick name as he had big lips, like I said he did look a bit like Mick Jagger - he also looked a bit spaced out.
