here's another one ... i usually get confused in whether oxidation occurs at cathode or electrode, so, i keep in my mind the 5th letters,like:

 oxidAtion - Anode
 reduCtion - Cathode

@thukon- yesss hydroxide is discharged in preference!!! thanx for reminding,so now it is some1 nice only cleans broken items ;D

yea...theres one mor way....sum might find this easy.. ;D
RED CAT and AN OX
(Reduction at Cathode and Oxidation at Anode)
