There is no problem riding a proper mountain bike on the road (not one of those halford specials that weigh 3 tons). Most mid range mountain bikes will be infinitely better than any cheap road bike from when you were a kid.

No, theres no problem per se, but if you dont ever plan to go off road then whats the point? Yes a modern MB is better than your old road bike from when you were a kid, but not better than the equivalent road bike now. And knobbly tyres on the road are a complete waste. They slow you down and wear out quicker than proper road tyres.
