We don't have AP flour in the UK, but if you can't get 00 I'd always recommend bread {high protein) flour instead

Yeah I can get 00 flour no prob, but I don't have much experience working with it. Soooooooo soft.

isn’t AP the same as “plain” flour?

I think so...

Yeah in US terms. Is 00 the same as "hard" flour?

Didn't someone post a flour translator somewhere
00 means it’s extremely finely ground iirc and is usually mid-range in terms of protein i.e. 11% or so.

Yeah, afiak, 00 is the "size" of the particles left behind, meaning more of the bran is sifted out.
The flour from Barton Springs Mill in TX is very nice and you can get most of their flours in berries, whole wheat, and 00 versions. It's a bit pricey though.
