chain recycling (in the environmental sense!)

My chain is slipping and I'm just wondering if I turn it in side out, so top edge becomes the inside edge would this make any difference?

No, it's the rivets grinding into the metal that makes it longer.

No, you have to turn the bike upside down as well.

Haha, hmmm, I'm not that daft!

take it to the tip/in your metal recycle bin and stick it with the metal stuff.
