1. A folding seat comprising a base, a back and a seat base, in which the back is connected to the base by a first hinge means, in which the base comprises an open topped container defining an inner storage space, in which the back has an outer end and an inner end, in which an axis of rotation of the first hinge means is spaced apart from the inner end, in which the seat base is fitted in the open topped container with a first end thereof being connected to the inner end of the back by a second hinge means, in which in a first arrangement the back is arranged to overlie the open topped container such that a closed container is formed, and in which in a second alternative arrangement the back is arranged at rotational positions in relation to the open topped container such that seating and/or lying platforms are formed, with the seat base forming the seat part of said seating and lying platforms. 2. A folding seat as claimed in claim 1 in which the seat base has a second end opposite to the first end, and in which the base is adapted to position the second end level with or above the first end when the seating or lying platform is formed. 3. A folding seat as claimed in claim 2 in which the base is provided with interior side walls, in which said interior side walls are provided with guide channels, in which the seat base is provided with guide pins located in said guide channels, and in which said guide channels follow an inclined path, such that second end of the seat base is level with or above the first end when the seating or lying platform is formed. 4. A folding seat as claimed in claim 3 in which the first hinge means are provided with locking means adapted to lock the back in one or more positions when the folding seat is arranged in the second arrangement. 5. A folding seat as claimed in claim 4 in which the guide channels are provided with indents adapted to receive the guide pins when the back is locked in said one or more positions. 6. A folding seat as claimed in claim 4 in which the locking means are adapted to lock the back at substantially 107 degrees to the base, at substantially 135 degrees to the base and at substantially 163 degrees to the base. 7. A folding seat as claimed in claim 6 in which the base is provided with support means, and in which the second end of the seat base is supported by said support means in the second arrangement. 8. A folding seat as claimed in claim 4 in which the back is provided with a rear surface, and in which the base is provided with an exterior surface, and in which the rear surface of the back contacts the exterior surface of the base when the back is substantially horizontal. 9. A folding seat as claimed in claim 3 in which the interior side walls are provided with storage compartments. 10. A folding seat as claimed in claim 2 in which an extension part is hinged to the second end of the seat base, which extension part is manually unfoldable from the seat base. 11. A folding seat as claimed in claim 1 in which the base is provided with a drain. 12. A folding seat as claimed in claim 1 in which the base has an upper surface adjacent to the inner storage space, and in which the upper surface is provided with storage compartments. 13. A folding seat as claimed in claim 1 in which the base comprises a stationary part and a rotating part, in which the rotating part comprises said back and seat base. 14. A folding seat as claimed in claim 13 in which annular bearing means are disposed between the stationary part and the rotating part. 15. A folding seat as claimed in claim 14 in which the annular bearing means comprises a race on the stationary part, a race on the rotating part, and balls disposed in said races, and in which said balls are resilient. 16. A folding seat as claimed in claim 14 in which the annular bearing means comprises an inner bearing and an outer bearing both of which comprise an annular arrangements of rollers provided on the stationary part and runner surfaces provided on the rotating part. 17. A folding seat as claimed in claim 14 in which the folding seat is provided with a releasable latch means adapted to prevent the rotating part rotating in relation to the stationary part. 18. A folding seat as claimed in claim 1 in which an underside of the folding seat is provided with a convexity, and in which the convexity is adapted to fit into the concavity, such that the folding seat is stackable with other folding seats. 19. A folding seat as claimed in claim 1 in which the base is provided with wheels. 20. A folding seat as claimed in claim 1 in which said wheels are provided at a first end of the base, and in which the base is provided with a handle at a second end thereof. 21. A folding seat as claimed in claim 1 in which locking means are provided to lock the closed container. 22. A folding seat comprising a base and a back hinged thereto, in which the base comprises an open topped container defining an inner storage space, in which in a first arrangement the back is folded onto the base, and a closed container is formed, and in which in a second arrangement the back is unfolded from the base and a seating or lying platform is formed and in which a seat base is provided by the base, which seat base forms the seat part of said seating or lying platform, wherein the back is connected to the base by hinge means, in which the back has an outer end and an inner end, in which the axis of rotation of the hinge means is spaced apart from the inner end, in which a first end of the seat base is hinged to the inner end of the back, the seat base having a second end opposite to the first end, and in which the base is adapted to position the second end level with or above the first end when the seating or lying platform is formed, the base is provided with interior side walls, in which said interior side walls are provided with guide channels, in which the seat base is provided with guide pins located in said guide channels, and in which said guide channels follow an inclined path, such that second end of the seat base is level with or above the first end when the seating or lying platform is formed.
