Around
this time I was commuting to work by train. Hastings early in the
morning is not a pretty sight - those first few hours before the
clean-up squads get to work belong to the seagulls, and there’s nothing
they enjoy more than tearing apart a bin bag to get at the tasty morsels
inside.
The dustbins are a bit of shorthand scene
setting - they’re based on the ones Top Cat and his gang used to live
in. There are no real dustbins in Hastings, everyone has been forced to
use Wheelybins instead, something which explains the preponderance of
bin bags and the resulting very fat seagulls in the town.
