That was dealt with by me, in a message posted to the list, in response to a similar claim, I believe by you, in mid-July.

My citation was correct.

(three-headed) electric shaver on a glass shelf, on
the left, on the right hand end of the glass shelf, is a digital watch, above 
that, is a glass hanging on the wall, containg
three toothbrushes, and between the electricity supply socket ito which the 
electric shaver is plugged, and the glass
hanging on the wall, is a mirror, containing an image of the Vogon bulldozer,

wall tiles are coloured darkish blue.
