Why are Romanians always portrayed with British accents?

Like in the Passion of Chauchescu,The Last Temptation of Chauchescu or

the latest movie: Chauchescu and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. :shrug:

1. Because Romanian women are super hot?

That's why so many Romans settled there and as a result their language is Romance...

I had a huge crush on Nadia Comaneci.:blush:

8. I'm not kidding though!

I found this out first hand! The reason why Dacia became Romania is because the Roman soldiers stationed there were so overcome by the beauty of the local women many of them settled there and got married and their language eventually took over! I learned this myself from a Romanian woman who was so beautiful I would have believed anything she told me!

9. Yes, but what does that have to do with

being portrayed with British accents?

10. I talked about this in about my earlier post somewhere else!

Since the folks on the continent did such a bad job taking over Europe after Rome fell it was up to up to the British to step up and try to take things over! They came came over here and founded America and as a result we speak the language of Grand Brittania and can thusly we understand the language of great British thespians like Richard Burton or Sir John Gielgud who portrayed their great Roman ancestors and forebearers! And of course these guys would naturally speak with British accents, how believable would they be if they spoke with Latin accents?

11. Why do you say that's a non sequiture ?

Tom said:"Romanian women are super hot" and I replied that I had a crush on Nadia Comaneci,

the Romanian gymnast.:shrug:
