Like's a funny old thing, she mused. Twenty years ago, liking meant, well, liking. You liked fish and chips, you liked certain bands and you liked going out on a Saturday night.
Now "like" was a different thing altogether. You liked comments, you used it to signal approval and, if you were a skilled online detective, you used other people's "likes" to give you a clue to their personality.
Not liking could be tricky - did you offend by it? She hoped not, but the modern-day social media platform didn't always help her. If offence had been taken, she begged forgiveness.
