  2. It's not a real supermarket. It's the studio set for the Sky TV sitcom "Trollied". Filming for the series had already ended, and the set needed to be dismantled anyway. The food on the shelves was a mix of empty packages, and expired food that wasn't safe for human consumption.

  13. You mean "why would the owners of Bottle Yard Studios, Bristol; allow Top Gear to drive cars around one of their sets which was going to dismantled in two weeks anyway?"

  14. It's OK, starving people don't watch Top Gear. Even if they did, why would they want to eat fake food from a TV sitcom?

  19. Correct. Windows XP Embedded was used for supermarket checkouts right up until 2014. Given that this isn't a real supermarket, it's likely they just bought some old tills.

  22. You'd give props from a TV sitcom to poor Africans? That would be incredibly cruel, why would you taunt them with something that looks like food, but is actually made of plastic. What kind of monster are you?

  23. Support for Windows XP Embedded wasn't officially withdrawn until 2014. The fact that this wasn't a real supermarket also makes it likely they wouldn't have bothered to upgrade the software.
