IIRC, Churchill died in late 1965, but the 1966 summer wasn't up to

Actually he died in January.

Thanks. The 1965 summer wasn't that great either, IIRC. In fact there
was hardly a decent summer during the decade, as I remember it.

Actually that summer was fairly decent by the looks of things:

though August was a bit rubbish.

1964, 67 and 69 were generally good but most of the others a bit
rubbish. Seems that the romance of sixties summers was a bit lost
