It were a hard life - but seemples: Pictures from the past... with a touch of meerkat mayhemPeoples say life in the olden days was never easy.

Here, with a little computer wizardry, our furry friends pop up in these iconic pictures from a very different age...
Last updated at 1:47 AM on 27th October 2011 Dry run: Even though we had to wash in a tin bath, I always knew that the meerkat shall inherit the earth The munch bunch: We youngsters loved our apples. Secretly, I always hoped I'd find a nice juicy worm in mine Blowing my own trumpet: My nurse was captivated by my meerkat manner, left, while I could reduce grown men to tears with my rendition of On Ilkley Moor Meerkat
Basket cases: Unlike the other children, we meerkats quickly learned to stand on our hind legs Boys own: My landlady forbade foraging after 10pm and dead lizards in the bedroom, left, and I grew to love comic book heroes like Korky the Meerkat
Totally nuts: The other schoolchildren were impressed with my natural skill during games of conkers All wrapped up: I learnt how to keep furry warm in the breezy classroom Animal hospital: Every few months the nurse treated our ailments. I was inoculated against snake venom and jackal bites Teacher's pet: I always got high marks for my wild tales of derring-do Up the Badgers: Each Saturday, we watched our local team, Fulham, and my favourite player, Bobby Meerkat Desert rat: After work, Dad would tell us stories about the Kalahari
