OT Need help from the metric savy

I'll probably be able to sort this on my own when my brain settles (it
has been one of _those_ days), but just in case it gets stuck on slow...

I've been asked to make one of Jamie Oliver's recipes to bring to an
upcoming do.
In the course of things it tells me to roll puff paste out about as thick
as a pound coin.
Looking it up I find that a pound coin is a smidge thicker than 3mm.

That would be roughly an eighth of an inch?
So about half as thick as your average rolled cookie dough?

It is a recipe for sausage rolls, which was handed to me because I know
how to make puff paste and you cannot get boughten here. Rather annoying
because I don't eat meat sausage.

Yes, there are 25.4 mm per inch, so an eighth of a inch is about right,
maybe a scant bit thicker.

Just sat here looking dumb on this one. I know puff pastry but not puff
paste - and millimeter is some kind of machine gun, isn't it? Polly

Just another name for the same thing, and think of rolling it out to
about the same thickness as a silver dollar.

Nightmist, I do veggie sausage rolls using my favourite veggie loaf
recipe as the sausage meat.

I'll certainly make some for home using nut or veg sausage.
DH has been working on a black bean sausage that is showing great promise.

For this "do" I shall have to make it to recipe though.
I am quite certain that my coz selected this recipe quite intentionally
to annoy, so just because I am a bit of an a** when it comes to obnoxious
relatives and show off cooking I shall have to do a really excellent job
of it. See, my aunt was the pastry goddess in the family, and she really
ticked off coz by telling her that I was a better pastry cook than coz
is. This led to a pastry throwdown. I don't know what coz was thinking
because she brought a cream of _rhubarb_ pie and some shoofly pie tarts
(think treacle tart), I brought a gooseberry pie and a croquembouche.
Aunt declared me the winner, coz has never forgiven me.
Hence anytime she is involved in organizing a family do she tries to find
something to ask me to do that she thinks will annoy. Meals at these
things are mostly pot luck, but to make certain there is a reasonably
balanced meal some people get called up and asked to make a specific dish.
For years I was usually asked to bring a veg dish, but now that coz is
helping out I have been asked to bring meat three years in a row. She
knows full well we are vegetarians and that I have not much cooked meat
these past 30 years.

I's just tell her "We do not cook or handle meat" and take the veggie
version. To try to make you go against your principles is appallingly
bad mannered, and she need to be shown that you don't play her silly games.
