Stand near the sundial and listen to people explaining to one another why the time is an hour out.
.... rarely and only coincidentally would it be exactly an hour out.

You must also consider arc to time for the real local time and also the Equation of Time, as "Mean Time" is only a convenient average. (There's a clue in the name!)
