Help appreciated parsing these...

15a.Fall in warehouse (2,4) - GO DOWN (Fall)

Can't see where 'Warehouse' fits in.

50a Fancy woman losing note - it's a worry (6) - STRESS (Worry)

The only 'Fancy woman' I can think of is 'Seductress', but 'EDUC' can't be 'Note', so it must be something else.

5d. Old man with a lot of bottle (10) - METHUSELAH (Old man)

The reference to 'Bottle' is lost on me.

Had to look up the first one but apparently a GODOWN is ‘a warehouse in East Asia and India’ (Collins)... !

Methuselah is a size of Champagne bottle (6 litres)

And my assumption was that the fancy woman was 'mistress' (mi the musical note)
