Yes quite agree Steve,I have just backtracked on the story and cannot find the original report on this.
Apparently the gentleman was found in Stockport.
At least all's well that ends well.👍

Blocked

given that PCornes first comment appear to be 2 weeks before this story can we assume that this is an update where the original bit was accidentally deleted? Which is why it doesn't make a lot of sense - starting with why Cheshire Police thought he was missing?

Thank goodness you are safe and back home.
It's lovely to hear good news for once.👍

Let's hope there's a happy ending to this poor gentleman.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you,
Wherever you are.
