Help[Opinions] Re: Maida
in reply to a message by summergirl
This is from the Wikipedia entry for Maida Vale, a residential area in London:
The name derives from a pub called The Maida, the hanging board of which used to show a likeness of Sir John Stuart, under which was the legend Sir John Stuart, the hero of Maida.[5][6] General Sir John Stuart was made Count of Maida, a town in Calabria, by King Ferdinand IV of Naples and III of Sicily, after victory at the Battle of Maida in 1806.
So, yeah, a battle and a suburb. Mn Maida Candy?
