Found A Big Blooper

I've been watching this every day for the last week (hey, don't judge) and I just noticed an error. The song that the Cratchit's were singing, We've All Been Having A Go At It, was written in 1894. The movie takes place in 1843. That's 50 years.

Think about this. Once bread becomes toast, you can't make it back into bread.

It's quite possible that the song existed and was sung for years before the credited writers published their version and its lyrics.

It's probably an honest error though.
