    So just got off the train and went to buy a tram ticket. Put 2.40 in and a five came out.

    Gave it to a homeless flute playing fella however he'll probably drink it.


    Should i have bought him a sambo + coffee instead ?

    If this was in Dublin the fiver will probably be enough to buy him 1 jelly bean.

    No, you should have donated the money to a charity that provides services for homeless people.

    Nice thing to do, a lot of people would have thought it was their lucky day and kept it! Its sometimes hard To go buy them coffee etc if you are hurrying to work etc. So hopefully he will get a cuppa himself :)
