In a bid to finish ...
16a Stone me! He flies everywhere! (3-6) ??T-?E?T?R
16d Woolly 26 (6) ??R?P? (26 I have in 'island')
15d Speak badly of topless dress (5) A?I?N (I can only see 'alien' going in here but can't really tie it in. That is if I have the answers right of course!)

Many thanks.

16 Jet setter

16a JET-SETTER - stone = JET, me = SETTER [of the crossword]

16d Jersey

[ozzy1]

Thanks for that - and for the explanation. I can see I have one wrong again as 16d must be 'Jersey'. 23 a Beryl led mare out now E?E?A?D (7) Any help please?

[bibblebub]

emerald = anagram of led+mare

23a emerald

[ozzy1]

I think 23a must be 'Emerald'.
