I don't know about you guys, but getting such a small piece of our pie (4.85%) back, once a year, when we gave up 42%, plus our DB money, just ****es me off, more than makes me want to celebrate.
Kind of a painful reminder of exactly how much we gave away.
Sure it's better than getting zilch, no doubt, but still...it would be nice to have that little 'extra' every month.
I'm sure Ed won't be getting any sleep tonight though...
