Humour

You know you're from Christchurch when ...you sleep in one suburb, shower in another, collect water from another, go to the toilet where you can. And still smile and greet people like you are one big family. Cantabrians mine their reserves of humour to bring some light to the dark post-earthquake days, creating one-liners which vie with the legendary Tui billboards for their pithy hilarity. This book draws together the best of hundreds of contributions to a Facebook page which now has thousands of contributors and loyal fans, both nationally and around the globe.
