Rhotic accents are very uncouth to my ears.

That's fair. Non-rhotic accents sound posh and pretentious to my ears. Tongue

What's interesting is that in Atlantic Canada the perception is reversed. Non-rhotic accents are associated with certain very poor outlying regions; sort of like if West Virginians sounded like Queen Elizabeth Tongue

To answer the OP, rhotic, but much of my family is non-rhotic.
