    I'm probably an old foggy (at 46!!) and have no great love for social media but it looks to have made a real difference in this case. Thanks to all those who helped find this lad safely.
    Thought the same myself as it was all over social media, but also, a car from a private hire company picked me up in the early afternoon and I noticed that they'd sent a message, with a description to all their drivers. I imagine that the bus companies and the likes did similar. A fantastic effort from all involved. Proud to be a Boltonian (sometimes ;-) ) So glad the little fella's turned up safe."
