French barrel/Roman tiles

[Sus81]

Has anyone ever seen Spanish/French barrel tiles used in the UK for roofing? Seems a nice style but have never seen it used in this country and wondering why? Is it just not the fashion trends or is there something more serious regarding the materials, weather, etc?
