Am I missing something here, if a bill is higher than a cap, then how is it a cap ?

It's only capped at the advertised amount if you use the exact amount that OFGEM declare as the average amount. Many people have asked the same question.

So if you live in the far north of Scotland and need more heating and lighting, your bills will be higher than those, say, of someone on the English Riviera way down south.

Possibly.

Or you are a lone person in a small flat, you use less than a family with 4 adults in a 3 bedroom house in the same area.
But nowhere in the TDCV figures is there any mention of locale, or number of people in a property, or type of property

Property size and number of occupants is not considered.

My buggers capped the per Kw charge but promptly upped the standing charge.

Different suppliers have changed the unit price and standing charge in different ways. The total price based on the OFGEM average won't exceed the cap.
It seems that the media/OFGEM haven't done a very good job at letting everyone know how this works.
