OK guys, thanks. 19ac Second-rate waiter's place to pull large empty cracker (5) I have -I-B-.

13ac Cardinal sending back couple after CD about sex (4)F-V-. Must be five; but why?

Ta for help ( just lazy about typing up clues!)

Bimbo - cracker

B (second rate) LIMBO (waiter's place) less L
(pull large) = B (L)IMBO

Ta Rosie; any joy with 13ac. explanation?

Sorry, yes ......

EF (couple after CD) VI (sex)(Six)

Back = F IV E = Cardinal

Five is a cardinal (number)
the couple after C & D are E * F

Many thanks both of you - seems overly complex to me. Happy solving!
