Three iPhones (running Maps) and an iPad (running the OS250K
software)
claim that I'm currently in Bolton.

I'm not. We're not even close.

Anyone else seen anything odd like this?

Yep. You're probably near a wifi router that used to live in Bolton.

Disable wifi and see if the location fix improves.

No WiFi at all here.

GPRS O2 is the best we get.

Noone anywhere near you has a wifi?

Maybe no one in Bolton has a wifi either, and that is why it assumes you
are there.
If you go outside, the phones (and iPad if it has a gps) should work it
out after a minute
