Borrowing a tenner? Catching a lift perhaps?
There are lots of favours you might do for a friend.
But what about stepping in at the last moment for a wedding photoshoot on Saltburn beach - to appear in a national magazine?
James Hopper, 41, didn’t so much as hesitate when he was asked by photographer friend Jemima Stubbs, 29, to pose in a wedding shoot which has been for selected for use by Attitude magazine, the UK gay men’s lifestyle magazine.
Keen surfer James, a support worker for autistic children who lives in Nunthorpe with daughter Lauren, 15, said: “The girl I’m seeing was on the beach there and it was just really good fun and we had a really good laugh.
“By the last few pictures we were getting snuggled right it and it was more comfortable.
“Lots of people thought we’d been married and so there were lots of people on the pier saying ‘ahhh’
“I just put my wetsuit on after and went surfing.”
Jemima was thankful for James’ favour.
The photographer who lives in Fremington, Richmond, said: “I had asked two genuinely gay friends to model but one of the guys notified me the night before that he would be unable to make the shoot.
“I was at a post-surf bonfire and barbecue party with James and his girlfriend that night and he offered to stand in for me the next day!
“Such a fun shoot with a big positive reaction and great help from the locals.”
She added: “I love Saltburn and I’m very grateful to James for being a great friend and totally comfortable with himself and not afraid of a challenge!”
