Since we are fast becoming a more aged society, isn't it time that manufacturers used bigger typefaces....or put the instructions on a product website for us? (Though I note that www.viakal.com isn't anything to do with Viakal). I want to retain my uplifting belief that life begins at 40. It's rather hard to do so when my teenage son has to read the instruction label to me.

Bigger Please!
Is it me or have you noticed it too? Born at the very tail-end of the baby boom, I'm not exactly old, so I should be able to read product labels easily, right? Wrong! Glasses on, glasses off, contact lens in, at arms length, close-up. I can't quite make out how long I'm supposed to leave Viakal limescale-remover on my bath. I don't want limescale, but I don't want a hole in my bath either.
