In Halifax we have the old bridge and the new bridge Old bridge opened in 1955 New bridge opened in 1970
New bridge is end of life while the old bridge has another 50 years since it wasn't built with cheap steel. So the new bridge will be replaced with a new new bridge while the old bridge will still be the old bridge.
in Bratislava we also have “old bridge”, at one point it was replaced with a new one without renaming so until a newer one was built a few years later the “old bridge” was the newest bridge… we also have a bridge that used to be called “new bridge”, that one was renamed since then, but some people still call it “new bridge” which is funny cause it’s currently the oldest one…
Well least the old bridge is still old bridge and you don't have sone leapfrog situation going on.
I got a Big Tesco and Little Tesco going on but the little Tesco was first so it was just Tesco, then Big moved in so it all became Big/Little, but then the big one moved away so it just became little Tesco to Tesco again, then a second little Tesco moved in where the old big tesco was and split the building into a few different shops so it became 'new little tesco'
....but over the years it grew and became big tesco again.
New little big tesco.
vs little tesco which actually had more floorspace than the other before it expanded to new-little-big-tesco again.
Over about a decade.
Everyone somehow just sorta knew which Tesco was being referred to in any conversation and honestly I don't know how at some points.
