Over here on this side of the big pond, it's considered rather crass.
Rather like noisily "breaking wind" at church in the middle of the prayer.
This caused by the shenanigans by "CB" operators on the 27 Mhz. band. Sadly
duplicated by "newbie" amateur operators on 2 meter FM band frequently.
Generally considered rude operating practices.
No "ill will" meant to you guys in UK.

David, please understand the reaction from some over here
on this side of the pond. "Roger beeps", along with "echo
boxes" are standard fare for the "wanna-be hams" on our
CB channels.
Actually, perhaps a "roger beep" makes a bit of sense in the
marginal, sometimes imaginary world of VHF/UHF contesting
QSO's ...
