SO, C Johnstone seems proud to live in Greater Manchester?

Everyone to their own.

As for post offices, there aren't many left in Bolton. Maybe they, too, have moved to Manchester.

Since when has Manchester been a county? I thought it was a town or city, not a shire. And what about postcodes? "BL" is not "M".

Horwich is in Bolton's jurisdiction. So maybe that was also shifted into Manchester in 1974.

How can a boundary MOVE, and who moves it?
