Why do it if it's not fun?

I've always known that the (turn indicator/ball) works in the correct sense during any spin, and that the (ball/turn indicator) may work in the incorrect sense during an inverted spin.

Problem I have is remembering which is which! As MJ says, I've never looked at the instruments during a spin.

This thread has reminded me that it is the turn indicator which should be used to determing the spin direction. But does anyone have any mnemonics, or easy ways of remembering which is which, so that when the subject next comes up and I've completely forgotten this thread I will instantly know the answer without having to look it up again?
