How does post work in the UK? Because in the U.S., the clerk at the 
post office would have stopped Molly from putting so many stamps on 
the letter, or if she dropped it in the nearest mailbox, it likely 
would have been returned to sender.

It was a humorous moment, but  not the most logical thing.
