0In British English 01b00p.02b00 stands for 'page' and 01b00pp. 02b00'for pages', so Ant is correct when he says that the plural of 01b00p. 02b00is 01b00pp. 02b05000is an example from a book, and below the definition from 05100.02br

00 It should be a very rare abbreviation, I had never seen it before! I beleive "p." and "pp." are standard, although "pg." and "pgs." look much better to my eye... 0-
