= "suitable" or "appropriate"

It would be in the fitness of things to say that....
It would be suitable to say that...
It would be appropriate to say that....

I think people from India who speak British English use this phrase a lot.

the correct phrase is "in the thickness of things", meaning amid it's business, in the middle of a lot of things, in your busyness

Sounds badly-worded to me. I can't figure it out.
