who is / are 'we' ?If it was a busy day, with lots of families on the footpath and cars trying to pass, I would probably agree as well.
But, much would depend on whether there was anywhere suitable to park, within a 10min walk.

) - but this one is pay & display so I guess it's whether or not you want to avoid paying to park your expensive motorhome...

Would you have preferred that they park sideways over 4 spaces?
Funnily, mum and dad once came across a motorhome parked across 4 disabled bays at a service station, on route to Wales. My Mum (not a woman to be messed with) approached him, to ask why he thought it OK. He responded with the normal 'what's it got to do with you?!' vitriol, to which she calmly but sternly pointed out that because he couldn't be arsed to find a suitable spot they couldn't use one of the bays for my disabled sister, who had just had a new pacemaker fitted. Seconds later Becky rocked up, out of breath. He was apparently somewhat unable to respond.

This person should get an award for their parking.... complete w@nkspangle. Leighton Buzzard multi storey which by design has huge spaces anyway 
I tried to see a reason that might have forced him to park that way, other vehicles there etc., but I couldn’t see one, then my younger son, who served in N.I. in the eighties, looked over my shoulder, and said, “I think that’s a Northern Ireland plate dad, maybe Londonderry, no wonder we make jokes about them.”I did my best to put him straight, saying, “You wouldn’t make jokes about black people, so it’s not cool to generalise about the Irish”, but it’s such an outrageous bit of parking really, I’d like to have seen it clamped, and not released until he’d paid the max revenue that the CP lost by him taking up two spots.
