Or at the very least, check the chain for any sign of stiffness, binding or stiff links. The condition of the chainrings is also a factor, as is whether this happened randomly or while shifting.
I have left in Halfords for a mechanic to check it and possibly replace the rear mech if thats what is needed, he wasnt totally sure that was the problem.

It happened when I tried to pedal away on a slope, first I couldnt move the pedals, then I tried to change gear to move the chain to another ring but it felt worse.

I probably should have jumped off when it first felt wrong, the chain may have jumped off as it did when I had the old chain on and worn rear chainring but since I had them replaced I didnt think it would do it again.

Mmm didnt help the situation I dont think
