Conceptually, this mainly requires an extension from the usually considered d-dimensional ageing or Schr\\\"odinger algebras to a new kind of representation of the conformal algebra in d+2 dimensions. Explicit tests in several exactly solved models of simple magnets and through simulations in the 2D Ising and q-states Potts models (q=2,3,8) quenched to T
