I have thousands (not millions) of UK-size pillow cases. But if you are not going back to the UK soon, this is a French site (that is also in English) and if you click on pages 2 and 3 of the pillows lozenge, there are UK shaped pilows, which can be delivered. http://www.maisondeloreiller.com Cathy ----- Your children won't remember you ironing their pyjamas but they will remember you reading them a bedside story.    Report
