Yeah, if someone said "I was giving you £1000 a year but this guy says I can give him £950 a year instead" you'd probably say "Well wait just one moment, you can give me £940 a year if you prefer."
Whereas if someone said "I've given you £1000 over the past year, so I want to give you £1000 this next year too" you'd probably say "OK, thanks"
