Britons of a certain age refer to this as the "Trigger's Broom Paradox", after a character from a comedy TV Series "Only Fools and Horses".

Trigger, who worked as a street sweeper, got an award from the City Council for maintaining the same sweeping brush for twenty years (though the broom has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles).
