The only conceivable problem that I could suggest is related to the complaints 
(were they also from the UK?) of outdoor dials being an "attractive nuisance". 
I can see a flock of unruly kids pushing and shoving to each have a go at the 
dial. Eventually someone would get hurt, and the local Council doesn't want to 
be liable...
