TWO Good Samaritans were thanked this week for stopping to help a pensioner taken ill while out for a walk.
The man, who has a heart condition, was walking with his wife in the Timbersbrook area on Monday when he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He could not walk any further, and his wife flagged down a car which took them home.
''I want to thank the two kind young men in a red car who went out of their way to take us home,'' said the man's wife, who comes from the Mossley area of Congleton.
''I had stopped them in Brookhouse Lane because my husband could not walk any further with pain in his chest from the cold.
''They took us right to our home, where my husband recovered in the warmth with a cup of tea.
''I don't know what would have happened without their help.''
