THE health care firm BUPA has been much in the news of late, what with the signing of a big deal with Prudential yesterday.

But not mentioned at yesterday's press conference was the bizarre incident which befell ultra distance runner Wynnie Cosgrove in the BUPA 24-hour Track Race earlier this week.

This spirited young lady flies around the track wearing a black eye patch on her right eye, which was removed by an accidental sword thrust at the age of five.

Usually, Wynnie wears a glass eye, but since this is uncomfortable when she is running, she takes it out.

Unfortunately, cleaners at the Sha Tin Sports Institute decided to clean the locker rooms.

They found her eye, and, curiously, assumed that its owner was no longer interested in it. They binned it.

The news was broken to Wynnie when she completed the race. After much embarrassed scrambling about in the garbage, staff found it and dusted it off.
