working in science, I'll never be earning enough to get a mortgage on my own for the kind of place I'd be happy to live in. So I've more or less given up on the idea, to be honest.
If I were to settle down and raise a family though, I'd prefer to own rather than rent as 1) a lot of rented places get funny about kids and babies, 2) I'd want the security of owning the place and being able to change what I wanted. You don't get that with rented flats, it's all magnolia and shit carpets.

But in the majority of cases, by the time you've paid off your mortgage, your house is worth considerably more than you'd have paid for it, meaning you've got an asset to leave to any kids you might have. Given that there is a lack of social housing, in years to come being of 'stock' that owns property will probably open more doors and opportunity than those who have to pay the market rate to rent somewhere.
Add to that, if you rent, you are paying rent for life. If you have a mortgage (aside from moves/remortgaging) you are technically 'rent free' after 25 years, which makes econimic sense.

Starter would be a fig filled with blue cheese and wrapped parma ham and baked with a watered-down honey dressing. Or maybe going for a bit of a classic, honeydew melon wrapped in parma ham. Or, or, maybe, aspagous wrapped in parmaham with a holendayz dressing.
Mains I'd do lamb chops under a really intense grill so the fat crisps up, about two minutes before they're ready, I'd put a really good sweet-chilli sauce, or maybe mint-jelly (note: not 'mint sauce') over them so it bubbles up a bit. I'd do with that minted crushed potatos and petti-pois pees.
