Son 1 has managed to put a dozen scratches on my iPad screen. Some deep enough that they can be felt as well as seen. What are my options?
Be nice in the Apple store and ask them what your options are, hopefully they'll replace for free...
Must one book, or just rock up?
sell son 1, buy a new ipad
What else shall I sell to make up the difference?

One should never do the latter. Never.

Have a look at [url= http://www.ifixit.com/ ]http://www.ifixit.com/[/url] and decide whether you want to have a go at fitting a new screen yourself? Replacements pretty cheap on eBay. What version is it? It's not going to be too hard a job unless you're completely ham-fisted!
It's a 4/retina one. Ham-fisted? I couldn't fit a screen protector and screwed it up in a rage! Do I qualify?

That really isn't true. Take the iPad into a shop and ask a floor assistant what the options are for repair. They'll either book an appointment or sort you out on the spot.
I'll try and book - I'm 2 hrs away, although coincidentally I'm passing tomorrow.

I was referring to using the term 'rock up'.
They're full tomorrow. I'll wing it. Maybe I'll moonwalk up to the desk rather than rock up, everyone loves that.

I'd go for a very energetic "running man" all the way from the door to the desk.
(Could take about 10 minutes if it's a big shop)
what's the hit rate for this? pretty common or if you're lucky? (scratches also caused by son 1)hopefully they'll replace for free...
If they turn me away after the moonwalk I'll leave, turn my jacket inside out, and try that Neal.

I guarantee they will sort it out then and there if you do that. Hipsters love the moonwalk.
I had to get my phone replaced and when I went I was told to book an appointment. Booked the next available appointment and when I turned up they were allowing anyone to be seen...didn't seem to matter if you had an appointment or not.
So yeah, you need to book an appointment apparently, but don't be surprised if you get seen after people who haven't booked an appointment.
Oh well. I had to resort to twerking before the genius gatekeeper would even look at my iPad, and then he said I could have a new one for £200. So I started doing the truffle shuffle hoping for a reduction on that, but was asked to leave.
If they don't offer to replace it FoC on the spot, there is only one option left:
