I have *stupidly* removed the blade from a Mountfield Empress lawnmower
without noting the orientation... Now I dont know which way round to
replace it! Should the edge bevel be facing downwards so that if you
look at the blade on the mower you can see it or should the edge bevel
be facing up so that when you look at it you just see the back of the
blade...

Thanks in advance and yes I know that I should know better!

It happens all the time.
If you lift the mower and place the blade on its mount and examine it.
Put it on so that the cut grass is directed upwards rather than down
when it is spinning.
The rising part should be directing the grass upwards rather than down
for that reason.
That is regardless of the direction of the spin. Its easy to know when
you look at it and think about it.
when the grass is thrown upwards it is then released out the back or
side of the machine
