ASTUTE postmen tracked down a Bolton pensioner to deliver a postcard - even though half her address was missing.
Joan Lowe, 74, of Chorley New Road, Lostock, was stunned when a postcard from her Danish penfriend Gudrun Nielson, 76, landed on the doormat.
Gudrun had forgotten to include the town in the address but a canny postman had written "try Bolton" underneath.
