You Know You’re From Christchurch When.........

Cantabrian Bruce Raines compiles more hilarious anecdotes for a sequel to the bestselling You Know You’re From Christchurch When...

After the February 2011 earthquake that hit Christchurch, Cantabrian Bruce Raines was helping his friends move when he decided he wanted to do more, he wanted to cheer people up, so he set up the ‘You know you’re from Christchurch when’ Facebook page.

It became an instant sensation and a humorous lifeline for many of those affected by the earthquake.

From the hugely popular facebook page, Bruce drew the best contributions to compile You Know You’re From Christchurch When … which went on to become a bestseller.

Following the books success, Bruce has decided to publish a sequel to coincide with the second anniversary of the September 2010 earthquake in Canterbury. 

Over 17,500 people now like the ‘You know you’re from Christchurch when’ page, and new reasons to 'know you're from Christchurch' are added every day.

You Know You're From Christchurch When ... Volume 2 draws together the best of hundreds of contributions to the Facebook page, such as:

You know you’re from Christchurch when …

You can make a hilarious joke before a major earthquake has even finished.

You know an online auction for a port-a-loo is going to spark a bidding war.
