Thankyou Mr Pond.
Erm, im wondering now, how everyone gets their concrete to slope towards the bottom drain? if you put the concrete in pretty wet, how do you manage to slope it without standing in the concrete itself????

It depends on what is being made as to how "wet" the concrete should be. If its too wet it will "run" which is of no use in this instance.
Back to the question, answer is they don't.
