English to Spanish Other Other business/legal

Hi! I need to know what the meaning of "take a slide" means in this context:
On the positive side, IKEA is pretty classless. Just about everybody has enough money to shop there.although it´s popular with one-parent families and young single people. So, while traditional British institutions - the Crown, the Church, Parliament, Marks and Spencer- HAVE TAKEN A SLIDE, there´s plenty of evidence to suggest that IKEA will keep going strong.


Thanks to you all!
