Reclaiming difference in price paid for a flight and current price

Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if anybody else has experienced this before and wanting some advice.
I booked a flight with netflights.com on 17/04/09 for Manchester (UK) to Kuala Lumpur with Emirates and paid £1348 for two people.
Today (02/05/09) out of curiosity I checked the same flight and it has gone down to £1192.20 which is a huge reduction of £156.80.
Is there a way they could match the current price and refund the difference? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that if the price for the same good goes down the customer is entitled to a refund.
I wouldn't be too bothered if it was £50 or so but its a quite a lot of money. The whole point of booking early is that you get the best deal and on this instance it seems it's the opposite.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Some years ago booked last minute holiday at reduced price. Fellow holidaymakers had all paid full price, would they be entitled to refund as I paid less? I don't think tour operator would agree.
It can work other way, book early save for example 20%, would late bookers be entitled to that 20%, I don't think so as offer had finished by time they booked.
I would imagine more empty seats on flight than expected so they're trying to fill them by offering them at reduced price.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0
