Chain tension bolt right hand side

The right hand chain tensioner (drive chain, NOT camchain) at the rear wheel, is it clockwise or anti clockwise to tighten the chain?

You turn the adjusters anti clockwise to tighten the chain.

Ta. I should know that but my new chain has done so well it's been 6 months since I've had to tighten it despite daily use. :D
