Mooch went on a day trip to Hastings and found the town full of pirates!
In 2010 Hastings claimed the Guiness World Record for the largest number of pirates in the same place (
BBC report).
In 2011 they grouped themselves as a giant skull and crossbones on the beach as part of
Hastings Old Town Carnival.
Mooch met several pirates!

This Pirate had a nicely painted black van, and he had his own monkey too - look behind Mooch!
There were pirates in the pubs! Here's the Cutter and the Dolphin.
Pirates make loud music! Here's the drummers "beating to quarters".
The "Sex Pirates" played for the crowd and got them dancing.
