will you

“Shan’t be the first time we’ve slept in a churchyard, will it, Nialla?”

The sentence starts with shall and the question tag has “will”. I think “will” needs to be changed to “shall”. Why does the sentence adopt ‘will’?

The sentence is incorrect. It should read: It won't be the first time we've slept / we'll sleep in a churchyard, will it, Nialla? CB

My guess is that people who sleep in churchyards aren't overly concerned with grammar.
