@Myself - "I'm almost certain the use of 'take' here is incorrect."

I would like to retract that statement if I may?!

After posting this comment I looked in to this further and their are plenty of examples of 'take a decision' being used in some very reliable sources. However, a part of me is still insistent that 'make' sounds much more natural/oral/native, so much so that I would probably have previously corrected a student for making such an error ;)

I happily admit I was wrong to make such a rash statement but my feeling still remains the same.
